Obama: King of All Statists

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Almost 40% of William Howard Taft’s cabinet officials were from the private sector. Ike had nearly 60% of his appointees sporting private sector experience. Reagan had about 55% and George W. Bush about 53%. Even FDR and Truman had half their cabinet officials with private sector experience. And Obama? Less than 10%. That means that […]

 

Why Conservatives Have Trouble Getting Elected

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The reasons that I could never get elected to any government position is the same reason why conservatives have a tough time getting elected and, if they end up elected, can’t govern in this era of the ill-educated voter. First I’ll lay out my main principles… Leave me alone Stop taxing me Shove your regulations […]

 

Another Obama Gitmo Official Resigns in Obama Smoke Screen Effort

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Earlier this month President Obama fired Greg Craig, his main counsel on matters concerning the Guantanamo Bay Facility — unless, of course, you really believe the claim that Craig resigned. And this week Obama sheds another one of his GITMO team with the resignation of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense for Detainee Policy Phillip Carter. […]

 

Libertarian and Liberal Thanksgivings

Posted on by McQ

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Usually I try to keep this day as a non-partisan, non-political day in which I wish everyone of every ideological persuasion the blessings of the day (and I still do!). But as it happens, the day provided me with one of the best examples of the differences between libertarians and liberals I’ve […]

 

Stimulus Stimulated Much of Nothing in Illinois

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago Tribune has an interesting story that shows that Obama’s $787 billion stimulus really didn’t do much by way of creating any new jobs in Illinois. Though Obama is counting “jobs saved” as some sort of success story, the fact is few jobs have been created and nothing will be sustainable after the stimulus […]

 

Dopes’ Hope Is Fading Fast

Posted on by Dave Blount

How quickly fashion changes. Less than a year into our first Affirmative Action presidency, here’s the new look: Shirts unflattering toward the Moonbat Messiah are hardly a novelty among patriots, but the FreshJive design above is a product of the Left, which is starting to understand the implications of having placed a naked emperor on […]

 

Best Buy Ditches ‘Christmas’ But Celebrates Muslim Holiday in Fliers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Christmas. Who needs it? Not Best Buy, that’s for sure. After all, Best Buy is loathe to use that hateful word in its advertising. It’s so “religious” and tinged with racism, America, and tradition. It makes Best Buy shudder to think of using that foul word, Christmas. But, advertising for the Muslim holiday of Eid […]

Ruinous PLAs Coming Your Way Lucas County, Ohio! Magie Thurber is reporting that Lucas County, Ohio County Commissioner Ben Konop is trying to force unions on non-union labor in his jurisdiction.

The End of History or a History of the End?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few years ago, Francis Fukuyama was widely criticized for his book claiming that mankind had seen “The End of History.” Fukuyama contended that liberal democracy had won the debate over which system was best and, therefore, there was necessary no more “moving forward” for man’s social order. While Fukuyama might have thought the question […]

 

NPR: The Internet is at Fault for Fort Hood Assassin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

National Public Radio (NPR) has a bit of foolishness penned by Daniel Schorr that really shows how useless NPR really is. In an pristine example of Schorr’s great intellect, he’s decided that the Internet is responsible for Nidal Hasan’s murderous rampage at Fort Hood earlier in the month. Folks, this is the sort of hack, […]

 

Marriage Hating ‘Psychologist’ Calls Palin a ‘Special Liar’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An anti-Palin screed somehow ended up on Psychology Today’s website. I know, I know, it’s shocking that Psychology Today could sponsor something that is less science than it is PC, hatespeak against conservatives, what with psychology being so scientific and all — but, there you have it. Penned by one Bella DePaulo, the piece really […]

Senate Approves Motion to Proceed on Obamacare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With a 60 to 39 vote, the Senate has passed the motion to proceed to move on with the debate over Obamacare. Again, it is important to note that this is only a vote to begin the floor debate on the bill. It is not a vote to pass Obamacare. In the Washington Examiner, Byron […]

 

SEIU Fixing the Vote in Fresno, Too

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few weeks ago we reported on how the Services Employees International Union was attempting to fix the vote in Sonoma County, California so that Sonoma’s in-home healthcare workers would end up with SEIU representation instead of NUHW representation. Well, Sonoma wasn’t an isolated case. The SEIU used the same vote fixing tactics in Fresno […]

 

Where is THIS Republican Party?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An excerpt of the 1924 Republican Party Platform: The prosperity of the American nation rests on the vigor of private initiative which has bred a spirit of independence and self-reliance. The republican party stands now, as always, against all attempts to put the government into business. American industry should not be compelled to struggle against […]

 

Harry Reid Wants to Vote on a Phantom Bill (Dem Dirty Tricks Edition)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Either today or later this week, Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev) wants the Senate to vote on a “motion to proceed” on the Senate’s version of the healthcare bill. That wouldn’t be so bad except for the fact that it has barely been seen by anyone in the Senate. At least not as […]

 

Europe is Our (Insert Female Pejorative Here)

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**And now a word from my inner swaggerer… Europe is a chick’s name. That’s right, you heard me. The word Europa from which Europe is derived is of feminine gender in origin. In Greek mythology Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus. Zeus disguised himself as a bull to pull off the caper. So, […]

 

Charlie Crist: A Serving of Pork Sounds Good

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On November 11, I wrote of the statements that Charlie Crist made denying that he ever supported Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill in his role as Florida’s Governor. Unfortunately for his obfuscation, though, I noted that he and 17 other governors signed a letter in February of this year announcing support for the Stimulus. Apparently […]

 

Yes, Liberals – It IS Wrong for the POTUS to Bow at 90 Degrees to Other Heads of State

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

It never fails that any criticism of President Obama from conservatives is met with the usual “they’re overblowing it/they’re being stupid” cry from some on the left, and this weekend is no different. In response to the legitimate outcry over the President bowing at a clear 90 degree angle to Japanese Emperor Akihito, liberals at […]

Meghan McCain’s Latest: Too Stupid Not to Comment Upon

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just hearing her name causes me pain and normally I wouldn’t waste a minute’s time worrying about what this vacuous little child has to say on much of anything — as is evidence by the fact that this is the first time my keyboard has shuddered out her name. However, Meghan McCain’s latest blog post […]

 

A Victory Against Obama’s Unionism in New Hampshire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a victory for free labor, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has cancelled its solicitation for bids to build a new Jobs Corps Center in the state of New Hampshire. Why is it a victory? Because initial plans to receive bids would have discriminated against non-union construction companies per President Obama’s orders. Over 80% […]

 

Obama and Democrats Don’t Understand ‘Sacrifice’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston The jihadi movement has never made any bones about the fact that it intends to destroy western civilization from within using the West’s own principles as weapons against it. This is why, for instance, that radical Islamists have been angling to institute Sharia “law” inside England and Canada and to a […]
